Petite Princess Dining Room

I came across this Petite Princess Dining Room on EBay the other day and picked it up for a great price. I have a few pieces of this plastic furniture made by Ideal.

Hi, Troy - I enjoyed seeing your Petite Princess collection in its entirety. I'm glad that you have a house for your collection. I really like the piano, the lamps, and the stove hood in particular. Your new dining room set is wonderful - there is such attention to detail in all the pieces. The furniture is very elegant, especially for pieces made of plastic. That was a great find!

I LOVE the colors in this suite of furniture and the detail of each piece. I've seen it on line but I'm never sure of the scale. Some pieces look as though they are 12th scale but I think that most are not.

Hi Troy! Those Petite Princess pieces really take me back to my childhood!!! I had the dining room buffet and the tall cupboard and a couple of the dining chairs but never had the table. Even at the age of eleven I was very aware that the furniture was not the right scale for my Lovely Old Dollhouse which is 1:12 scale. It always bothered me that the pieces were too small. We also had one of the curved sofas in chartreuse satin.... and the fireplace set too! Unfortunately we did not keep those pieces... probably because they really looked funny in the Dollhouse!
